DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through6 thereof, a new holster device embodying the principles and concepts ofan embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by thereference numeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 6, the bed sheet holster assembly10 generally comprises a fitted bed sheet 12 that has elastic corners 14such that the fitted bed sheet 12 can be positioned over a mattress 16.The mattress 16 may be a sleeping mattress of any conventional design orsize, and the fitted sheet may be manufactured in any conventionmattress sizing, including but not being limited to, twin, full, queen,and king. The fitted bed sheet 12 has a first lateral side 18, a secondlateral side 20 and a back side 22, and the back side 22 is aligned witha headboard 24 when the fitted bed sheet 12 is positioned on themattress 16. Additionally, the fitted bed sheet 12 has a top surface 26and a bottom surface 28.

A pair of pouches 30 is each of the pouches 30 is coupled to the fittedbed sheet 12 to store objects 32 for a user 33 of the mattress 16. Theobjects 32 might be personal objects, such as a smart phone, house keys,eyeglasses or any other object the user 33 may want to keep at closehand when the user 33 is sleeping. Each of the pouches 30 has a firstlateral edge 34, a second lateral edge 36, a bottom edge 38 and a topedge 40. Each of the first lateral edge 34, the second lateral edge 36and the bottom edge 38 of each of the pouches 30 is coupled to the topsurface 26 of the fitted sheet. Additionally, the top edge 40 of each ofthe pouches 30 is free from the top surface 26 of the fitted sheet todefine an opening 42 into each of the pouches 30. Each of the pouches 30is positioned on a respective one of the first lateral side 18 and thesecond lateral side 20 of the fitted bed sheet 12, and each of thepouches 30 is positioned adjacent to the back side 22 of the fitted bedsheet 12.

A pair of holsters 43 is each coupled to the fitted bed sheet 12 to holda firearm 44 thereby facilitating the user 33 of the mattress 16 toaccess the firearm 44 while the user 33 is sleeping. The firearm 44 maybe a handgun of any conventional design or caliber. Each of the holsters43 has a first sidelong edge 46, a second sidelong edge 48, an upperedge 50 and a lower edge 52. Moreover, each of the first sidelong edge46, the second sidelong edge 48 and the lower edge 52 of each of theholsters 43 is coupled to the top surface 26 of the fitted bed sheet 12.The upper edge 50 of each of the holsters 43 is free from the topsurface 26 to define an opening 54 into each of the holsters 43.

Additionally, the upper edge 50 of each of the holsters 43 anglesdownwardly between the first sidelong edge 46 and the second sidelongedge 48. In this way a grip 54 of the firearm 44 is exposed when thefirearm 44 is positioned in one of the holsters 43. Each of the holsters43 is positioned on the back side 22 of the fitted bed sheet 12 and eachof the holsters 43 is positioned adjacent to a respective one of thefirst lateral side 18 and the second lateral side 20 of the fitted bedsheet 12. The holsters 43 are oriented such that the second sidelongside of the holsters 43 is directed toward each other.

A pair of panels 56 is provided and each of the panels 56 has a firstsurface 58. Each of the panels 56 is coupled to the bottom surface 28 ofthe fitted sheet having the first surface 58 abutting the bottom surface28. Additionally, each of the panels 56 is aligned with a respective oneof the holsters 43. Each of the panels 56 is comprised of a rigidmaterial to inhibit the bed sheet 12 from being deformed by the weightof the firearm 44 in the respective holster.

In use, the fitted bed sheet 12 is positioned on the mattress 16 in theconventional manner of fitted bed sheets. In this way each of thepouches 30 is positioned on opposite sides of the mattress 16 and eachof the holsters 43 is positioned between the mattress 16 and theheadboard 24. Thus, a firearm 44 can be concealed in one of the holsters43 while still being readily available to the user 33 when the user 33is sleeping. In this way the user 33 can sleep with the comfort ofknowing that they can defend themselves from an intruder.

With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized thatthe optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodimentenabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials,shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, aredeemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and allequivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings anddescribed in the specification are intended to be encompassed by anembodiment of the disclosure.

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of theprinciples of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications andchanges will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is notdesired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operationshown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications andequivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of thedisclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used inits non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word areincluded, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. Areference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not excludethe possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless thecontext clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
